Coalition for Public Education/Coalición por la Educación Pública: Segregated Schools are NOT Community or Neighborhood Schools

Segregated Schools are NOT Community or Neighborhood Schools

Segregated Schools = Less Funding for Black Schools While Being Controlled by Whitefolks
This is still happening in the US. It is part of the American education system's DNA. To rid this deformity, serious deep surgery must be performed by those experts known as Black & Latino Parents, Students and Educators.

i don't see community schools as supporting segregation. community schools offer educational resources to the demographics they serve versus busing our students to where they are often just a pay check and unwanted. the argument keeps going back and forth from wanting more culture centered schools which are schools catering to the demographics to school choice which often send students and resources outside of their cultural setting. funding is always an issue that is eased with great parent teacher partnerships. When the value of education increases at home than the partnerships at the schools will also increase. Community without public education resources are desert storms. #SaveOurSchools #CommunitySchools #MayoralControlOfPhilaPublicSchools #KeepCorporateOutOfPublicEducation #EndSchoolToPrisonToDeportationPipeline

It is the sad situation. If the students take part in different demonstrations, it means that they don't see their future. Every government has to protect a young generation because this people will work and build their country and future of it. Why that happend? I wish that this young people have the student life like my son. All he does is studying lessons that he likes and get coursework writing uk for paper work that he doesn't like. He has hobbies and friends, he travels and visits parties. It is a student life that every young man deserves, as for me.

I`m sure that all the changes with education and training must occur for the benefit of students. Despite the preferences and demographic situation. When I was a student, I often use bookwormlab review when I needed to prepare a report on the economy or politics. Unfortunately, education isn't as easy as it seemed at the beginning of this path.

The Coalition for
Public Education

Coalición por la
Educación
Pública

Who We Are
What We
Want

The Coalition for Public Education/Coalición por la Educación Pública is an independent, non-sectarian, and non-governmental organization with short, middle and long-term educational and social goals. We believe that education is a human right and we want to ensure that New York City public schools are places of learning in which all stakeholders (parents, students, educators, non-pedagogical staff, administrators and the community) are engaged in a democratic process to provide a free and quality education to all its students, from Pre-school to College.

Our coalition is based on antiracist/antisexist democratic grassroots organizing concepts and not based on the idea that any one individual, politician, union leader, or political messiah will save us.

Our coalition will participate in election campaigns but will focus on mass action as a primary vehicle for social change.

Therefore, we will organize the distribution of leaflets, mass rallies, forums, civil disobedience, petitions, referendums, web-based actions, economic boycotts, and other grassroots tactics. We also understand that we are not alone in struggle and that we must unite with other groups and individuals who support democracy, self-determination and the empowerment of our communities.

What We Want:

I. A Peoples' Board of Education

II. Local control of our Public Schools not Mayoral Dictatorship!

III. Better Public Schools not Charter Schools!

IV. Power to Parents, Students and Educators!

V. Implementation of a mandatory Antiracist Curriculum!

VI. Recruiting educators from our neighborhoods to achieve racial parity!

VII.Money for Education Not War!

VIII. OUR Schools = Neighborhood School Control!
